After my Dr. and a referred Cardiologist ruled out my heart as the cause of my persistent chest pains, my Dr. put me on Vioxx for the inflamation that was apparently causing my chest pains. Don't know if it was the Vioxx (probably was most of it)or the Cardioligist telling me it wasn't me heart, but I haven't had a chest pain in a week! Was incredibly bummed tonight when my wife pointed out that USA today ran an article today saying that Vioxx was being withdrawn. I have only been on it for a week and was only supposed to be on it for another week, but I am stopping it now. Too bad as it really worked for me. Will be calling my Dr. next week to see of there is anything else I can take instead. Didn't need this, trying not dwell on it but it feels like a great break for me just got torn away!
